Challenge #7

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.


So I meant to do this yesterday when I saw this but I was both tired and couldn’t think of things. You know like how if someone says ‘what would you like?’ And then your mind is like ‘file not found’? Yeah that’s how my mind was yesterday when I first saw this.

So I’ve had a ponder to see if anything comes to mind and… not much has come to mind, which is really annoying. I’m sure things will actually come to mind at some point when I can’t actually do anything with them (like when walking the pup or about to sleep) but here are the few things that come to mind.

So over the past year I’ve got back into J-Horror (I’ve watched the Ring and Ju-On boxsets, as well as the J-Horror Rising boxset arrow did) so I wanna know if anyone has any film recs. Especially if they’re on Disney+, Amazon, Netflix or Shudder (all uk). Uzumaki on shudder (the film not the show) is already on my to watch list and probably would’ve been sooner if I’d not been distracted/health issues.

Also any horror films on those platforms that are water based or have water creatures in them.

There’s a buy 1 get 2 free indie game sale on Xbox and I’m wondering if anyone has recs (alas there’s no link sto an online list, but there’s a post on it here). I’m thinking of doing it Monday (when my money goes in) and getting sone from under £22 but it’s hard to know if anything is good you know? (And yeah adding to the backlog is probably bad but shhh I love bargains). Cultist simulator is the first one that caught my eye when I had a quick look through earlier.

(Scrolling through the list did remind me I have to try For The Warp cause I picked it up on sale a lil while back and wanna try it)

Since I’m gonna be reorganising my icons soon (I likely would have done this morning but boiler issues) I could ask for some (or pics I could use), but again I can’t think of anything I’d want even though I’m sure there is

Lastly (well not really but shush) there’s the just general wish that everyone should be nicer and kind to each other, though I’m sure snowflake people are already nice anyway.

I do have a fic wants post (last updated in August but still mostly accurate) which is here though I don’t expect anyone to do anything from it.

I might add stuff in if I have any extra thoughts.

Edit: Oh! One thought I had is I’d like to see pics of peoples pets! Because fur friends are good
Edit: Here are mine from the day 1 post

I just had a look through the Xbox sale and I'm probably not going to get anything, although I do really want to play The Wanderer: Frankenstein's Creature. I've seen a bit of Frog Detective and Another Crab's Treasure and both were very cute. I'm sure you've already picked up Bendy and the Ink Machine, and Untitled Goose Game, but those are good shouts if you haven't already!

Celeste!! It's a very famous indie game for a reason. Very genuinely changed my life for the better. It's, of course, an infamously rather hard platformer, but there are lots of accessibility options that make the game easier, if you get stuck or can't progress.

As for pet pics... Here's my service dog! He's a rescued mutt and his name is Sammy :)

There's a lot of good horror coming out of Korea too. Worth checking out on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Ooooh.... any excuse to break out the pet photos!

Thank you :D

Depending on what kind of horror you like I could recommend Happiness (zombies), Hellbound, Squid Game, Sweet Homne, all of Us are Dead (zombies again), Gyeongseong Creature was very good. The Silent Sea was underwater horror.

jhorror (some of these are more gore films, not your traditional ghost stories, but it's just an assortment of favs): audition, pulse, the guinea pig series, suicide club, ichi the killer, grotesque, dark water, one missed call, tetsuo the iron man, battle royale

other asian horror: shutter (thai), a tale of two sisters (korean), the wailing (korean), the sadness (taiwanese), three... extremes (chinese, japanese, and korean), oldboy (korean, not sure if it counts as horror but it's too good to not include it)

i could probably come up with more but that's all that i can think of at the moment :p

grotesque is a LOT of fun, it's fucked up in terms of torture/gore but it also definitely doesn't take itself seriously and is quite humourous and silly at points :3

That's why I made a general wishlist to keep on my blog, and then Snowflake is the fannish one. I can just add things when I think of them, and it helps a lot.

>>Also any horror films on those platforms that are water based or have water creatures in them.<<

I'm not sure where it might currently be available, but we quite enjoyed Godzilla Minus One which is very water-focused.

Water based horror is absolutely my jam!! Mostly sharks, but some other things as well. (Some of these do lean more fun than good, so YMMV.)

Recs that I think you should have access to:
- The Shallows (Freevee)
- 47 Meters Down (Tubi)
- 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (Netflix)
- Sharknado + sequels (Freevee)
- Piranha 3D (Tubi)
- Alligator (Freevee, Tubi)

And some others that I'm less sure if you have access to:
- Underwater (Hulu)
- Deep Blue Sea
- The Meg
- Meg 2: The Trench (Max)
- Lake Placid
- Sphere
- Anaconda
- Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
